Itinerario

1. Jvari monastic temple immortalized by Michael Lermontov (“Mtsyri”poem) is the most ancient cult monument constructed in the beginning of Georgian Christianity in the 6th century (585- 604). The name Jvari means “cross” in Georgian language. It explains the ancient legend which says that it was there that St. Nino of Kappadokia put the Sacred Cross symbolizing the acceptance of Christianity by Georgia. Later over the cross the Temple of the Sacred Cross was built. It is worth mentioning that Small Jvari temple was built first (lying in ruins next to the main temple), and Big Jvari was erected afterwards for the purpose of preservation of the Sacred Cross relic. According to the ancient records the Cross was open to be seen from afar and was the object of worship until the 6 th century.

About Tbilisi

Tbilisi, capitale della Georgia, scorre in una gola sotto una fortezza: case con balconi, bagni sulfurei e audaci edifici moderni.

La città vecchia si raccoglie lungo il fiume Mtkvari, con le strette vie fiancheggiate da balconi di legno intagliati, chiese e enoteche. Abanotubani, il quartiere dei bagni, è coronato da cupole di mattoni sopra sorgenti sulfuree, e le mura della fortezza di Narikala dominano il tutto, raggiungibili in funivia o con una salita ripida. La statua della Madre della Georgia si erge sul crinale, con una spada e una coppa di vino in mano.
